What can happened if you have a hernia beside your ball sack?
This is likely an inguinal hernia - one that follows a small canal made by the testes descending into the scrotum during development. If you have a hernia it will most likely hurt like crazy - the worst case scenario is called strangulation - where the hernia pushing through cuts off its own blood supply and the tissue begins to die. Hernias are mainly composed of small intestinal tissue and if this begins to die it could have serious consequences. The surgical treatment for a hernia is now a very simple, routine operation. The muscle it is pushing through is cut, the hernia placed back inside the abdomen and a small piece of strong mesh is sewn into the area under the skin. This mesh reinforces the area the hernia pushed through and stops it happening again. If you have a hernia you should see a doctor - they see tons of them so there's nothing to worry about!
